NYYRIKKI Enters Rainbow 6: Siege

We are pleased announced our first venture into Rainbow Six Siege with the signing of a full Finnish line up previously known as ‘Moti On’.

The new NYYRIKKI.R6S team has been showing significant potential in recent tournaments hinting that they are on the verge of breaking into the higher tiers of Rainbow Six Esports. Examples include recent wins in the Major qualifier over established teams such as ENCE and Supremacy and a podium 3rd place finish at the Nordic Championships last year which gives them the confidence needed to pursue their goals of playing at the top level of the esport.

The team are due to attend the BYOC qualifier for the DreamHack Winter R6S Minor in Sweden in November for a shot at $50,000 and establish themselves as a new contender at top level Rainbow Six.

“We are extremely happy and proud to represent NYYRIKKI in the Finnish and Nordic Rainbow Six scene. A new page has been turned in our career and we are very excited for the future which looks very bright for us. Now we will start concentrating on Dreamhack Winter where we want to make NYYRIKKI and our fans proud.”

“NYYRIKKI are delighted to enter into a totally new esport for us with a team that we have a lot of confidence in. The signing was very smooth with the team and we are very excited to be working with our new coaching staff and team. We can’t wait to see what they can produce in their time with us. It is not yet clear when the guys will make their official NYYRIKKI debut but we will keep our social media accounts up to date when we have that information!”
